Here Are The Starbucks Copycat Recipes You've Been Waiting For

There are some events that might improve your day: A nice text from an old friend, a rainbow just after a downpour, the smile of a passing stranger. However, one thing that's practically guaranteed to make your day better, even when it's been downright bad? A trip to Starbucks. The well-known coffee chain offers a variety of coffee drinks in addition to a wealth of other beverages. But Starbucks doesn't just have drinks, there's also a wide variety of both sweet and savory food on the menu. That makes it the perfect place to stop by when you're on your way to work or school or just want to satisfy a craving.

When you can't be bothered to use the Starbucks drive-thru or actually step foot inside the café — or if you're just hoping to save some money — you'll be thrilled to know that you can make many of your favorite Starbucks treats for yourself. Our round-up of copycat Starbucks recipes includes so many favorites: Pumpkin Bread, the Pink Drink, a Hibiscus Refresher, Pumpkin Spice Latte, Cake Pops, and more. 

Starbucks' Refreshers drinks are made with various fruits and juices, plus green coffee bean extract to give you a little boost. Try this homemade Refresher recipe from Jaime Bachtell-Shelbert, with sweet hibiscus petals and blackberries. Look for dried hibiscus and green coffee bean powder from local or online sellers: Because you only need a small amount of these ingredients, the purchase will see you through many batches of Refresher drinks.

If you want something that's on the sweeter side, you can't go wrong with this copycat Starbucks pumpkin scone recipe. You'll be pleasantly surprised that this recipe is as easy as can be. After shaping, slicing, and baking the scones you get to make the drizzle, a sweet topping that comes together easily and is fun to taste-test along the way. Make pumpkin scones any day of the week, because they take less than 30 minutes from start to finish.

If you're into citrus, you've probably enjoyed a slice of Starbucks' Lemon Loaf. It's tender, light, and loaded with lemony flavor. The quick bread is so easy to make, and gets topped with a simple lemon juice drizzle. This from-scratch loaf has another bonus: It's healthier! While Starbucks slices have 470 calories per serving, ours has 322. We'll definitely say yes to a guilt-free version of our favorite breakfast treat!

You don't have to head to Starbucks every time you want a creamy pumpkin cold brew, because we developed our very own copycat recipe — you simply have to try it. Many of the ingredients are probably already in your pantry, and this recipe comes together in just 15 minutes, so you won't have to be in the kitchen for a long time to whip yourself up a special coffee drink.

No doubt one of the reasons we like to head to Starbucks is the convenience of getting a speedy bite in the morning, like the Impossible Breakfast Sandwich. Recipe developer Kristen Carli shows you how easily you can assemble similar, make-ahead breakfast sandwiches at home. They're a fast option for busy mornings, and a money saver, too. Store the premade plant-based sandwiches in the fridge, and warm them up in the microwave. They're also a great option for after-school snacks.

Can you believe that Starbucks Frappuccinos have been around for over 25 years now? The blend of coffee, ice, and milk gave the chain a huge boost in sales and inspired countless popular Frappuccino flavors and copycats. We love making our own Frappuccinos at home: Just add ice, espresso powder, sugar, and milk to a blender. If you'd prefer you can also substitute chilled espresso or plant-based milks, or add toppings like whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel.

The next time you have Oreo cookies in the house, set aside a bunch to make these super-chocolaty mocha coffee drinks. Our copycat riff on Starbucks' drink is as much a dessert as a pick-me-up. You only have to do one thing in advance here: Make ice cubes using instant or fresh-brewed coffee. Once these are ready in your freezer, you can blend up this Frappuccino anytime. The recipe makes three drinks, so invite some friends to join you!

The fan-created Pink Drink took social media by storm in 2016, and became so popular that Starbucks added the rosy beverage to its regular menu a year later. The secret ingredient is sweetened coconut milk, and our copycat version makes the drink even more lovely with lots of sliced strawberries. Make sure your tea, coconut milk, and juice are nice and cold before you start, then you'll have enough to make four Pink Drinks. Enjoy them throughout the week or share them with friends.

Make this filling wrap in the morning before you leave (it only takes 20 minutes) or make several in advance for an easy, reheatable breakfast option. Flour tortillas are filled with egg, bacon, sausage, and tender cubes of potato, and a sprinkle of cheese inside makes the filling wonderfully melty. It's a delicious savory breakfast or after-school snack that you can customize: Try substitutions like plant-based meats and eggs, cubes of sweet potato, or add in veggies like diced onion, spinach leaves, or sliced jalapeños.

Breakfast sandwiches have become one of the most popular morning meal choices in the U.S.: They're delicious, filling, and easy to eat on the go. No wonder Starbucks fans love to grab the chain's bacon and egg breakfast sandwich on busy mornings. We bet you can guess what we're about to share: They're easy to make at home, and take only 20 minutes. Look for croissant buns at the store, or use bagels or English muffins instead.

This item on the Starbucks menu offers a meat-free and spicy option for breakfast or lunch. You'll love making your own, though, because the wraps will be so much more fresh and flavorful. Use salsa-flavored tortillas, or other types like whole wheat or jalapeño, and fill it with black beans, scrambled eggs, and cotija cheese. Jalapeño cream cheese and salsa give the wraps just as much heat as you'd like. The recipe makes six wraps to feed a crowd or to prepare you for the week ahead.
